12244 VirtualBox 4.3 - wrong hardwareuuid => Fixed in SVN www0815 "If you run the following command:[[BR]]
{{{
VBoxManage --nologo showinfo --machinereadable ""YOUR MACHINE NAME"" | grep 'hardwareuuid'
}}}
You get the following result:[[BR]]
with Version 4.2.18: hardwareuuid=""30761f24-1e22-49c8-a4a5-dedc4a7ed74c"" (or anything similar)[[BR]]
with Version 4.3: hardwareuuid=""00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000""
This is very annoying, because lot's of scripts use the variable hardwareuuid to start or modify a virtual machine. But with such a hardwareuuid all scripts won't work anymore.
Please correct this.
By the way: The following command doesn't have any effect in version 4.3:
{{{
VBoxManage modifyvm ""YOUR MACHINE NAME"" --hardwareuuid ""30761f24-1e22-49c8-a4a5-dedc4a7ed74c""
}}}
The hardware uuid is after this command still full of zeros." defect closed major other VirtualBox 4.3.0 fixed UUID, hardwareuuid Windows Linux
